Ngemuva kokwethula isizukulwane esisha seCorsa, i-Opel manje isidalula ukuhlelwa kabusha kwenye edayisa kakhulu, i-Astra. Yethulwa ngo-2015, isizukulwane samanje semodeli yaseJalimane ngaleyo ndlela sibona izimpikiswano zaso zivuselelwa emzamweni wokuhlala zikhona esigabeni se-C esihlala siqhudelana.
Mayelana ne-aesthetics, izinguquko bezihlakaniphile (kakhulu), zifingqiwe ku-grille entsha. Ngakho, phesheya, umsebenzi wawugxile kakhulu ku-aerodynamics, okuvumela imodeli yaseJalimane ukuthi ibone i-coefficient yayo ye-aerodynamic ithuthuka (enguqulweni yefa i-Cx ingu-0.25 kuphela kanye nenguqulo ye-hatchback ku-0.26).
Konke lokhu kugxila ku-aerodynamics bekuyingxenye yemizamo ye-Opel yokwenza i-Astra isebenze kahle futhi okubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi kube ukwamukelwa kwezinjini ezintsha yimodeli yaseJalimane.
Izinjini ezintsha ze-Astra
Ukulungiswa kwe-Astra kwakugxile kakhulu ezinjinini. Ngakho-ke, imodeli ye-Opel ithole isizukulwane esisha sezinjini zikadizili nekaphethiloli, zonke zinezisilinda ezintathu.
Uphethiloli uqala nge-1.2 litre enamandla angu-110 hp no-195 Nm, 130 hp no-225 Nm no-145 hp no-225 Nm, ehlala ihambisana no-gearbox onamagiya ayisithupha oshintshwayo. Phezulu etikweni likaphethiloli sithola engu-1.4 l nayo enamandla angu-145 hp kodwa i-torque engu-236 Nm no-gearbox weCVT.

Ukunikezwa kukadizili kusekelwe ku-1.5 l namazinga wamandla amabili: 105 hp no-122 hp. Enguqulweni engu-105 hp itorque ingu-260 Nm kanti itholakala kuphela ngo-gearbox onamagiya ayisithupha oshintshwayo. Mayelana nenguqulo engu-122 hp yona ine-torque engu-300 Nm noma engu-285 Nm kuye ngokuthi ihambisana no-gearbox onamagiya ayisithupha ashintshwayo noma engakaze ibonwe ngaphambili edonsa ngamagiya ayisishiyagalolunye azishintshayo.
Ngokusho kwabakwa-Opel, ukwamukelwa kwalolu hlu lwezinjini kwenze kwaba nokwenzeka ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwe-CO2 kuphethiloli i-Astra ngo-19%. Injini engu-1.2 litre idla amalitha aphakathi kuka-5.2 no-5.5/100km kanti ikhiqiza phakathi kuka-120 no-127 g/km. I-1.4 l idla amalitha aphakathi kuka-5.7 no-5.9/100km kanti iphuma phakathi kuka-132 no-136 g/km.
Okokugcina, iDizili imemezele ukuthi isebenzisa amalitha aphakathi kuka-4.4 no-4.7 l/100km kanye negesi ephumayo engu-117 no-124 g/km eshintshwayo futhi eshintshashintshayo iphakathi kuka-4.9 kuya ku-5.3 amalitha angu-130 kuya ku-139 g/km.
I-chassis ethuthukisiwe nobuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe
Ngaphezu kwezinjini ezintsha, i-Opel iphinde yanquma ukwenza ngcono i-chassis ye-Astra. Ngakho-ke, imnike izinto ezimunca ukushaqeka ngendlela ehlukile futhi, enguqulweni ye-sportier, i-Opel ikhethe ukumanzisa “okuqinile”, isiteringi esiqondile kanye noxhumo lwama-Watts ku-axle yangemuva.
Ezingeni lobuchwepheshe, i-Astra ithole ikhamera yangaphambili ethuthukisiwe, amasistimu e-infotainment athuthukisiwe kanye nephaneli yezinsimbi zedijithali. Njengoba ama-oda ahlelelwe ukuqala emasontweni ambalwa futhi ukulethwa kwamayunithi okuqala kuhlelelwe uNovemba, amanani entengo ye-Astra evuselelwe awakaziwa.
